State Rep. Bob Thorpe sent an email Thursday to Arizona State House and Senate members inviting them to an event at the State Capitol to learn about tactical vests.

Someone from Arizona Tactical is scheduled to teach lawmakers about the benefits of the protective vest.

In the email, Thorpe wrote the purpose of the event is “to inform our members about the costs and options for those wishing to purchase a vest for personal use, for example at town halls, parades and other events.”
